🌍 Climate Impact: As temperatures rise, mountain goats are forced to move to higher elevations in search of cooler habitats, which can lead to overcrowding and increased competition for food. Additionally, changing snow and ice patterns can disrupt their natural behavior and breeding cycles.

🌍 Arctic hares are facing changes in their habitats due to warming temperatures. As the tundra warms, vegetation patterns change, affecting their food sources. Additionally, changes in snow cover can impact their ability to find shelter and avoid predators.

🌍 Wolverines rely on cold, snowy habitats for denning and hunting. As snowpacks shrink and temperatures rise, their habitats are becoming less suitable. This can lead to reduced reproductive success and lower population numbers.

🌍 Pikas are highly sensitive to temperature changes. As temperatures rise, they are forced to move to higher elevations, but there is a limit to how high they can go. If their habitats become too warm, they risk overheating and could face population declines.
